Loop Current Extension as an Effective Delayed Dynamical System
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, María J. Olascoaga, Philippe Miron
The Loop Current is the dominant circulation feature of the Gulf of Mexico and exhibits pronounced variability associated with northward extension, retraction, and eddy shedding. D…
Learning effective Sargassum transport dynamics from limited drifter observations
F. J. Beron-VEra, M. J. Olascoaga, J. Morell +1
Floating-material transport is influenced by unresolved processes that are often absent from available circulation products. We develop a data-driven transport-learning framework f…
Tracing the origin of tropical North Atlantic Sargassum blooms to West Africa
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga, Phillipe Miron +1
We simulate the dynamics of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} rafts as systems of finite-size floating particles, governed by a Maxey--Riley law with nonlinear elastic interactions. Using s…
Charting the course of \emph{Sargassum}: Incorporating nonlinear elastic interactions and life cycles in the Maxey--Riley model
Gage Bonner, Francisco J Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga
The surge of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} in the Intra-America Seas, particularly the Caribbean Sea, since the early 2010s has raised significant ecological concerns. This study emphas…
Clustering of marine-debris- and \emph{Sargassum}-like drifters explained by inertial particle dynamics}
P. Miron, M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera +4
Drifters designed to mimic floating marine debris and small patches of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} were satellite tracked in four regions across the North Atlantic. Though subjected t…
Building a Maxey--Riley framework for surface ocean inertial particle dynamics
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, P. Miron
A framework for the study of surface ocean inertial particle motion is built from the Maxey--Riley set. A new set is obtained by vertically averaging each term of the original set,…
